About Us

The Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation (TRF) was created in 1917 by Rotary International’s sixth president, Arch C. Klumph, as an endowment fund for Rotary “to do good in the world.” TRF transforms the contributions of individuals into meaningful service projects that bring about positive change in lives, both near and far. With a history spanning more than a century, the Foundation has dedicated over $4 billion to impactful and sustainable initiatives. With the support of generous donors, lives are improved in diverse local communities making a strong global impact.
